Tips for an indoor herb garden and growing herbs in containers:
- It is great if you have outdoor space to plant herbs. However, many herbs grow better in containers (especially mint, basil, thyme, parsley, and rosemary.
- Choose herbs that you cook with the most frequently.
- Choose a sunny location. Don’t forget that pots can be moved around when seasons and light conditions shift.
- Remember to rotate your pots occasionally, so that your herbs grow evenly.
- Use a Container with good drainage, choose pots with drains and saucers. If you only have a sealed pot, place rocks in the bottom of the pot and add some vermiculite to the soil, or use potting soil, to help with drainage.
- Use the proper soil, be sure to purchase potting or container soil rather than bringing in dirt from outside. Potting soil is disease- and weed-free, drains quickly, and will help promote rapid and healthy root growth.
- Water and fertilize carefully. Most plants die from too much attention, rather than not enough. Fertilizer should be added every three to six weeks, depending on whether the plant is indoor or outdoor. Use a calendar to keep track. To check for water, put your finger in the soil about two inches deep. If it is dry, the plant needs water. Otherwise, don’t water it.
- Harvest properly, wait until the plant is mature to harvest for the first time. Never harvest more than one third of the plant at one time. Wait for that one third to grow back before you harvest again. Remove all flowers that appear to ensure the most vibrant flavor. Herbs will grow quicker and fuller if you prune them correctly.
